a very intriguing twist on the time travel concept and witches. Never viewed magic this way before either. The narrative was superlative and for a very long book it captivated your attention from beginning to end

Colorado Congressman Evan Kendrick is trying to live out his term of office quietly—when a political mole reveals to the world Kendrick's deepest secret: that Kendrick was the anonymous man in Masqar, the man who courageously freed the hostage held in the American embassy by Arab terrorists; the unknown hero who performed an act of outrageous daring then silently disappeared. Now, suddenly, Kendrick is a living target pursued by the terrorists he outwitted.

Scott needs to brush up on Arabic pronunciation

A long but great story, the only distraction is badly pronounced Arabic, with a little time invested Scott could have gotten it to a point where it was not totally inaccurate.

Most terminally ill patients spend their last days and hours sharing that most precious time with their families and friends. In Lyle Howard's new pulse-pounding thriller,
Terminal Justice, terminally ill patients spend their last few hours tracking down murderers and felons who have walked free on technicalities or horrible miscarriages of justice. Then the patients become violent avengers - killing the murderers in explosive suicide bombings.

Great book

nice concept and with enough mystery that even the best arm chair detective will have a challenge to guess the ending.

From the first book to this book it has been continuous page turning drama against a very realistic backdrop of what the military and what wars will be like in the not to distant future. even the political make up of the planet is realistic as is the very over crowded Earth we may be finding if the population and leadership does not wake up and change.

This story is a creative and very different twist on the concepts of time travel, mankind being seeded on earth and wrapping it all around in a way that the story is told from the prospective of a teenage girl. This is very novel approach to revisiting old themes in a way that both entertaining and thought provoking.
